The U.S. Geological Survey said on its website that the quake occurred at 7:55 a.m. Thursday and was centered about five miles south of Greentown in Howard County, which is about 50 miles north of Indianapolis.

People as far west as Elgin and far east as Toledo, Ohio, are reporting they felt the tremor early this morning.

So far there have been reports of cracked window panes, fallen gutters, shifted furniture and other minor damage.

The Indiana Geological Survey had no records of an earthquake this size in Central Indiana ever.
